Can anybody shed light on why teams need to be super secretive on trade discussions that theyre involved in?
I mean the logical thing is probably because they dont want other teams to jump in and steal the transaction from them, but do NBA teams really do this? If they hear a trade discussion going on, are they like "hey, lets think of something better to offer the other team and try to beat that other team out of that trade" i mean it kinda sounds pathetic, coz youd think teams are actually looking at their rosters and trying to go into trade discussions to better their team, not to steal another team's trade or spite another team.
I think its funny how sometimes they deny that their is a potential deal going down and 2 hours later they tell the media that they just agreed to a trade.
When a reporter says "according to my sources", does that mean its stolen information?
